Description
Director of the Institute of Physics, Budapest University of Technology and Economics
Fields of Interest:
- Networks (statics and dynamics of complex evolving structures)
- Econophysics (analysis and modelling data from economy and finance by tools of statistical physics)
- Traffic models (cellular automata description of one and two dimensional vehicular traffic, correlation functions, congestion as phase transition, the geometry of the traffic jam etc.)
- Granular systems (cellular automata and molecular dynamics modelling of the flow, avalanches and segregation in granular media)
- Pattern formation (spatial and temporal instabilities leading to patterns including growth phenomena, fractals, surface structures, aggregation, DLA, Eden and related models)
- Percolation theory (universality problems, directed, continuum, correlated percolation, relation to phase transitions, nucleation problems)
- Statistical physics of liquids (atomic dynamics of metallic and non-metallic simple liquids)
- Computer simulation methods (efficient simulation of many particle systems, vector and parallel computation, cellular automata, molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo methods, cluster statistics)
